View Full Version : Integrity of a Bunny

I hate that I am sitting here about to type this but I have been praying on it for a few days and here it goes...


What does it mean to you? Before you do something to someone, why not think of how it would feel if they had done the same thing to you. If they have already, do two wrongs make a right? NO.


I would like to impose a standing rule. Most of you gals frequent, BoB. Let's imput some of the same rules here.


1. If you see someone posted about the opportunity, and it has been replied to already with an offer of info, STAY AWAY! Do not PM/E-mail, just leave it alone.


2. Or we can do like they do on BoB and send them to www.cbunny.com (http://www.cbunny.com) to the rep locator and they can look for a rep near them.


I have heard on more than one occassion that people are contacting people after the request as already been filled. Some are even going as far to say "If you sign with me, I will....." How does this make us look as a company or as a rep? Not to mention it is against policy.


I know that not all of us are doing this, but some are and it is not nice, it lacks integrity, and it is for sure not the CBBB way of doing things. Please ladies, let's remember what CBBB is about and honor that. Faith, Family and Career.


God Bless.Edited by: Traci

I'm thinking that maybe issues like that should be addressed with the
individual pple involved...posting about it makes us all look like
sharks and losers when in reality, we aren't. smileys/smiley2.gif

I thought we also agreed that a possible bunny can also rep. shop? I know that when I have been the first to reply to a post, that other bunnies have either PM'd or posted to that poster as well. Sometimes the poster signs with me and sometimes not, but that is life. If the poster PM's me back and says she has decided on another bunny, I don't pursue, if they never answer me, I don't pursue, but I always send a PM or post when they originally post about their interest in being a bunny and will continue to do so. smileys/smiley2.gif Edited by: CBBBShannon

We are not sharks :D We are bunnies. :D


Shannon, people do have the right to consultant shop.


I think that the point was missed. If you Shannon have replied to a request for information, others should not reply with an offer as well. PERIOD. Now if the person wants more than one option and states so, then yes, let her get to know you. But as a general rule one should walk away from request if they have already been filled.


Replys such as Good luck in your decision or you will love it here, are fine.


The golden rule is a great one here...


"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."

Traci, I am not trying to be arguementative, but if I felt all bunnies would adhere to this rule, then I would comply, but unfortunately they don't. Kind of a double standard.

Traci

I know your not, but they do adhere to it on BoB because it is not tolerated.


We can only be accountable for our own actions. Others may not know what we do, but we sure know. So if we all do our best to remember that this is a Christina based company and we act in a Christian like way, then that is all we can do. Those who choose not to adhere to it, well, God knows as do they. They are the ones that have to sleep at night knowing what they did.

I think this has only been an issue with a couple individual reps and
should be taken up with them individually. I'm not liking this big
public post for everyone to see.



For the record, I hardly ever pm someone if they have already been sent
info...haven't in a long time, I think I did awhile back, but to me it
does feel awkward and I don't want to "steal" them from someone.
On the other hand, sometimes the 1st person to offer you an opportunity
is NOT the one you should sign up with, so perhaps pple *should* get a
variety of responses. I dunno there.

I do, however, know that whining because someone didn't sign with you
is unproductive. I mean get over it already, move on, do
something that will BUILD your business and not reinforce negative
thoughts in your mind.



Alright, off my soapbox now.smileys/smiley9.gif



PS Traci my dear, you're a doll. I would imagine that having SUCH
a large team under you, you have all kinds of situations to deal with
and I don't envy that part of your job at all.smileys/smiley2.gif The crown...not *that* I envysmileys/smiley36.gif

For the record, this did not happen to me. Yes, it has happened on my team on more than one occassion. It is not fun, trust me. In most cases it could have been avoided completly. The problem lies when the bunnies do not act in a Christian like manner andlack integrity, in my opinion.Edited by: Traci

I agree. However, if you had a rep "stolen" from you, would you not be doing the above, even if it was brief? I think so. I have seen it happen more than once.

As a new Bunny I have to say that just b/c someone is the first person to reply to a new bunny inquiry posted, doesn't mean that that person should absolutely have to sign with that rep.


And I would hope that most people lookin to join would go with their gut feeling on choosing a rep to sponsor them. I know from personal experence in the past that you should talk to other reps b/f signing with any one particular person, as each of us has different personalities and wants to make sure that the person we have to work with on a daily basis, especially when we are new, is going to be a person we feel comfortable being open with and asking questions.


I don't think it is right to say that when a person inquires about CB that whoever posts first is the only one who can give info, what does that say about us? Honestly I would have been less inclined to join CB if that was the case, owning your own business is just that, making decisions for yourself based on how you feel.Not b/c someone was the first to respond to you.


Most people are responsible enough to say I am going to join this company b/c it is something I want to do not b/c of something someone offered me. If they are joining on the soul reason that, hey this rep offered me this and this one didn't so I am going to sign with her, then they shouldn't be joining in the first place.
